i was talking to a friend of mine said he don’t want no wars no morethey’re building bombs while our schools are fallingtell me what in the hell we’re paying taxes forhow can we talk about the price of gaswhen they’re stealing our brothers’ and sisters’ right to live

such a righteous & rocking song. people & the environment are suffering in our own land, why is our government spending billions of dollars on implements of destruction.

“If a thousand [women] and men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.” -thoreau from civil disobedience

how powerful it would be if more workers became tax resisters – sending a message to our government that we’re going to “stop paying for corruption and injustice.” we could instead choose to donate to charities and make positive contributions to our communities.
